Moritz Bauer to Stoke for £5m is a Done Deal! I don't know anything about him apart from he's a right back. Apparently the deal was pretty much done last week when Hughes was still in charge.

I don't think Milan will accept that bid. I hope he doesn't leave because he's better than Kalinic.

I don’t think they really have a choice about signing new players. The squad is bad, and there are so many players with contracts expiring in the next year that they couldn’t really do a rebuild in one summer. I’m starting to hope that the club is actually preparing for life after Wengy. They hired a “director of football relations” and “head of recruitment,” titles that sound like they’re actually trying to have some frame work in place outside of Wengy. Wengy didn’t seem too happy about the hiring of either of them, too.

The squad is bad, and there are so many players with contracts expiring in the next year that they couldn’t really do a rebuild in one summer. New players will come in but just no players of note. So far a Greek defender he has sent out on loan (more fear about him not retiring) and he’s linked with some Boca Juniors 21 year old Argentine attacker. He will probably buy at least one more but what the team needs now is either a complete overhaul with the stated plan of ‘here is the new manager, he has a three year contract, this is the recruitment and tactical philosophy’ or if Wenger stays he needs to identify what needs replacing (the only irreplaceable members of the starting XI want to leave anyway lol) and buy proven quality regardless of price. I’d say the next two windows require the acquisition of a top class first choice goalkeeper, at least one centre half, a defensive mid, two creative attacking players. Buying halfway decent players on that shopping list in this market will come up to £200m which I can’t see Wenger accepting.

Arsenal need about 4-5 new first team and 4-5 new second team players all across the pitch. Their team has just stagnated for so long with lack of transfer moves. Meanwhile, what should be their competition has been in for transfer activity in the hundreds of millions. Arsenal were 15th out of 20 EPL teams in transfer spending this summer, that's straight up indefensible for a big club with as many depth problems as they have. They continue to be one of the highest revenue teams in the league and they just sit on it non-stop while their ownership and management refuse to make competitive bids for star players. It's honestly disgusting.

It's honestly disgusting. I think your projection for the number of players is right. And not just because of the quality of the players. Alexis, Ozil, Wilshere, Ramsey, Giroud, Cech, Cazorla, Monreal, and Ospina are all heading into the last year of their contract, and we’re getting to the point that it’s conspicuous that they have not signed extensions. Debuchy is on his way out, Cazorla died, Koscielny seems to be on the decline. Not to mention that Mustafi and supposedly Bellerin wanted out this summer. There are just a ton of moves to be made if Arsenal want to field a team that isn’t Lacazette, Elneny, and a bunch of youth team players in the next few years. I don’t understand what’s going on with Coquelin. He’s a limited player, but he’s competent and reliable for what he does. He’s certainly better than Elneny who is an absolute shithouse. I don’t understand why Coquelin has fallen so far out of favor of why Arsenal seem to be happy to move him on.

Because outside of a couple of good performances he's poo poo. I heard Koscielny pretty much carries a permanent injury now. I really don't get what happened to Wenger. He went from a very real thorn in SAF's side to this laughable mockery of a manger that makes the same mistakes over and over and over again. I genuinely don't understand how or why.
